Stories from Super Touring Hello, I'm Lauren, you know, and
you're listening to Super Touring stories.
Thanks, Lauren. And as Lauren, our new host,
says, you're listening to stories from Super Touring.
Now with Series 5 starting next week, we are very excited to
tell you that Laurent will actually be our very first guest
of Series 5. So make sure you tune into next
Monday's episode to hear all about Laurent's title winning
BTCC season in 1999 in his Nissan premiere.
Now, as a teaser, here's a sneak peek from Laurent talking about
that slightly controversial incident with Jason Plato at
Knock Hill in 1999. Not at all.
But look, here's the battle that's going on for a second
place. Hello, Jason.
You know who is behind you? Big surprises.
Laurel. Laurel.
Ayalo is pushing him very hard. Very, very hard indeed.
He shoved him off. Jason Plato has been lent on and
pushed off into the gravel by Ayalo.
It's been pushed off by Ayalo in the gravel.
Whereabouts. Entry to McIntyre.
Now hang on, as long as I can stop, I'm running over there.
I hate to say it, but it had to happen.
It was definitely going to happen.
It was like a volcano waiting to explode, and a little Frenchman
did his bit as he came into Duffers.
Jason, Jason was not fair. You know, he was break testing,
he was slowing down the pack, you know, and I think I spent,
you know, about 20 or more than 20 laps behind, you know, in
that one stage, you know, when we came to the to the, the
breaking for me, I didn't want to push him, you know, at that
point. But for me, he really is, you
know, the throttle. And then I was also surprised to
to bang him, you know, and then into the corner again, he took
the curb on the inside. And because he knew that he was
not going to be quick enough for the rest of the corner, he
slowed down a lot again. And then I said, OK, now it's
over. It's too much for me, you know,
and I pushed him out because he. Deserved it.
Yeah, he deserved it. He was not racing.
It was not fair from him, you
know. But The thing is, if you see, if
you look during this year, I was not, I'm not going to talk about
the other championship, but during this championship, every
single race he had contacts or problem with with James, you're
in. Yes, yeah, yes.
I was it in Alton Park. Alton Park, yeah.
Alton Park. Yeah.
And again, and just also for me, was the right to do it in this
way, you know, because enough is enough.
You know, normally I don't do this sort of things because,
again, you know, sometimes you can.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because yeah, this was too much for me.
